Overview

• The City Council passed the measure with PP support, mandating permanent verbal and written notices about a purported post‑abortion syndrome across Madrid Salud, Espacios de Igualdad/CIAM, Samur Social, social services, websites, and printed materials.
• City legal and technical departments are assessing how to apply the policy, which has not yet been put into operation.
• Health Minister Mónica García says the condition is not a clinical diagnosis and her department will examine the measure's legality.
• PSOE and Más Madrid say they will go to court if the plan is implemented, arguing it could breach Spain’s general health and sexual and reproductive health laws.
• PP national leaders endorse the decision as an information measure, while medical and professional bodies note the syndrome is not recognized in DSM‑5 or ICD‑11.
